You ever think about how long a machine can last compared to a human's endurance?
Machines can run non‑stop for days if you keep the fuel flowing, but they’ll sputter out the moment something’s wrong. Humans get tired, but we can patch up a busted engine, improvise a spare part, and keep moving. So endurance isn’t just about how long you stay alive; it’s about how quick you can get back on the road.
Exactly. A machine is only as good as its parts, and once a part fails, it’s dead in the water. A person, however, has tools in the mind and hands; a broken gear can be fixed, a broken bone can be set, a tired spirit can be refreshed. Endurance for us is not a straight line of survival but a dance of repair and adaptation.
You got it—think of us as living machines with a toolbox in our heads. When a gear jams, we swap it out; when a bone breaks, we patch it up. That’s what makes our endurance more of a sprint than a marathon.
